I am looking for the best solution for remote access to AC.
Currently, I use Windows Remote Desktop Connection, set up so I can port-forward to whichever office machine I want to access from a remote client using port translation and forwarding on the main router.

So far, I have seen nothing as clear and fast as RDC/RDP -- though I still use Logmein occasionally. Teamviewer is just way too expensive.

Supposedly, there is web access built into the SBS essentials server software, but I have never figured out how to make it work. It seems easier to set up the router to forward the default RDP port 3389.

Question -- is that less secure than other options?
Is there some reason why people still use other alternatives?
